Bricked AGS2-L09 - Huawei MediaPad T5 Questions & Answers

Hi Guys,
I have my niece's bricked ASG2-L09 unit with a bootloop and I am hoping to fix it.
I was trying to flash few ROM's, but no avail, so I am looking for directions.
I downloaded the ROM's from https://professorjtj.github.io, but to be honest, I am unsure what files would be useful.
What would be the proper "Archive" to download? Normal, Base or Downgrade?
The latest "Base" I downloaded fails with the "Incompatibility with current version" error.
I don't know what is the latest version on the unit, so I was wondering if someone could share the latest version number on their devices, so I could download it?
Also do I need to copy the "update_data_full_public.zip" and "update_full_AGS2-L09_hw_eu.zip" as well in the SD card?
Finally: would SD flashing even work or should I try to unlock the bootloader first?
Thank you

If you're able to access fasboot or recovery you might be able to get it running again. I have the same device and highly recommend following the steps to install the LineageOS 18.1 based ROM LeaOS by @AltairFR
which is likely to help . There's a link to join the telegram support group
if you're still stuck. There's many guides and fixes already shared by others

Help rooting and installing ROM

Hello guys.
I'm new to Huawei devices. I've previously successfully rooted LG, Samsung and HTC devices, but I'm having trouble to understand how this works on the Mate 8.
I have a NXT-L09 model from AT&T Mexico. I didn't have any issue getting the code to unlock the bootloader nor installing TWRP so I thought it waa going to be easy to root by just installing the SuperSU zip in TWRP.
The issue is that TWRP is asking me for a password I didn't set and is unable to read my internal storage. I have researched and discovered that is because the device is encrypted.
My plan is to first make a backup of my current ROM because I haven't found a stock ROM of the C212B120 version I have. Then I'd like to root my phone so I want to make sure that there's something I can do to decrypt my phone, I have read that there is a file that is flash able in TWRP, but does it depend on the model or something?
I'm also considering flashing the stock international ROM so I can have fastest updates. How could I make the model change?
Please, if anybody is able to clarify this to me and guide me through the process, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
This is SAD...
Hey man, i think that is very sad that there are almost none updates for the same rom, I'am also on ATT Single Rom L09C212, and i have no luck updating it or finding firmwares.
did you update your phone?
i just hope that huawei release the nougat update for our phones.
greetings from Monterrey!

Huawei Mate 9 - A Combination Of Issues

Hello dev's !
So I am surfing alot of threads here lately and I finally have this chance to post my problem & hopefully get some help regarding my problem.
Device Info - MHA-L29C185... (Middle East Version - Dual SIM). Don't remember which stock rom I was on but it was oreo so maybe somewhere close to 374 or earlier version.
Problem :
Firstly, I rooted following one of the threads from here and it was successful. However, I messed up when I downloaded an app which modifies framework or something and it bricked me and pushed me out.
But luckily I had some help and I used Chimera Tool to flash the International Version which brought my phone back to life but a lot of features like WiFi, Fingerprint Scanner didn't work.
So I decided to re-flash my firmware ie; C185B374 (Middle East Version) hoping it would solve the problem. It did solve the Fingerprint and WiFi problem but gave new problems like Gallery App (System APP) not working and Bluetooth not working.
:crying:
Note : I tried downloading firmware files from Firmware Finder & and flashing all 3 files using twrp and it fails as there is some mess in the Partition which isn't resolving. :crying:
I tried flashing using firmware finder app in the phone. It downloads the firmware and everything but doesn't flash. :crying:
Now, when I try to rebrand also which seemed a possible solution, I get stuck on the step where oeminfo files has to be replaced from the twrp backups. The script just doesn't respond.
Well, I am still living with the phone but alot of features don't work.
Help Required is :
1. Need solution to get stock firmware working properly as I am currently running my regions version but features don't work.
2. Lock back bootloader if possible. ( ADB Method & Team MT Multi Tool have been tried with no success)
3. Possibly get everything back to orignal. That's all I want !
Can anybody provide a possible solution to this ?
Nobody ?
My thought:
Download the firmware images you want to install.
Follow the instructions for using HuRupdater (search, I don't have the link handy for it); basically: put hurupdater and your update zips in the same folder on microsd, flash hurupdater with TWRP.
For relocking, you should be able to use "fastboot oem relock", though the phone will show that status. If that's fine, go for it.

GUIDE: How to FLASH and RESTORE your STOCK firmware on the TA-1054 (and others)

It seems like there are a few people having trouble going back to stock and getting everything working.
As always, this requires an unlocked bootloader. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader then search google for a $5 service that does. It is what I did.
I flashed Project treble on my TA-1054. It worked great except it kept saying "insert SIM" when there was already a sim card inside, so I could not use it.
I tried to go back to stock but that firmware file on that google drive thread was corrupted, bad upload. Took me a few days to source this original firmware.
There is a tool called OST ( around 115MB), and a patch that comes with it (the smaller file less than 1MB)
The firmware is almost 2 GB
Download everything, including firmware.
1. Install the OST tool.
2. Replace the EXE file in the program files with the patch file you downloaded.
3. Delete the Onlineupdatetoolexe.config file. If you don't do this, the program will not start correctly.
4. Put phone into download mode ( either by powering it off, pluging into USB cable and immediately hold power and volume down. Or if you can boot into android with ADB debugging, just do a adb reboot bootloader.
5. Pick firmware file and click next.
THe first 2 times I tried this, It hanged at the last second. Third time was a charm. Give it time. Use a good USB cable.
I assume that this is the same way to flash other firmware files for other devices.
As soon as i get my hands on a android one firmware, I will flash it.
Or if anyone can guide me on how to extract the firmware on my TA-1045 USA version and flash it to my TA-1054 Chinese , let me know. Cheers.
Google drive folder with all the files I uploaded.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NbzO6lfSGacjM2wqrtBg3jMpljsZswne
Thanks bro...I am downloading it.
PL2-2380-0-00WW-B01.NBx.zip is global firmware name. firmware size is 4gb.
thanks! for extract is with nb0 tools FIH Mobile v3.4
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cSgjrZUxIsN7oLbo7AP-RnILDZdswmB-
its android one firmware. I have no tool for flash...plz try and let me know
Flashing now. Will report back after flashing is done. thanks!!
Edit: Looks like the version I have for OST does not read NBX files. Will try to update that and report back. I have ntool but no working username password
I cannot flash the NBX file. I changed it to nb0 but OST LA says cannot read firmware. Is there any other way to flash?
EDIT: I went ahead and purchased a bunch of credits for NTOOL.
I will flash and see if it works!
It fails with the mdtp.img partition (no such partition) . I would think that it would just skip that partition but it did not. I will later try to extract and flash separately
For some reason when I try to flash the golabl firmware using ntool, my bootloader gets locked after the mdtp flashing fails and I have to re-unlock my bootloader and flash the original 7.1 chinese firmware using the OLD version of OST. ( the new one kept saying firmware corrupt)
When I bought the credits for Ntool, I also got access to the downloads section so I will be uploading all the firmwares they have, ( there is like 5 different ones)
I was reading how the nokia &+ users are converting their chinese variants to global variants using the android P beta rom.
We also have a P beta rom so I will be trying to install that to see if it works or not.
As some of you may realize, I am determined to make this happen! The reason is because my USA android One version has only 3gb of ram but the chinese version comes with 4GB.

can u flash my chinese rom which is nbo format via ntool. I have have ntool but i dont have user name,password, i downloaded rom which u provide.my device still cant connect to mobile data.
NBX format only works on Ntool. but Ntool needs working user name and password to works. OST cant read or flash Nbx format.
if u get Ntool with working user id .. then plz flash my device also via remote mode like teamviewer.
Ntool Bricked my device. the only real restore you can do is by using ost with the stock chinese firmware. edit your apn. why is your data not working?
Global rom cant flash via ntool in Ta1054..showed error in partition. if it will be solved then china to global will be easy process..
I'm eagerly watching your progress. I'm in the same boat sitting on a TA-1054 wanting to get on Oreo without chinese firmware :x
Keep up the good work. It is really appreciated!
Edit: By the way, are the custom and original chinese firmware files available anywhere?
I saw someone mention a firmware in the google drive for TA-1054 but I'm uncertain whether that is the official one or the custom one.

Actually, the one in the mena topic was corrupted for me.
I have uploaded a good version in the first post of this thread. I've only had success flashing it wih OST.
But yesterday Ntool bricked my phone. No download mode, no screen, no usb recognition with windows. I am not really sure what to do now. If i can't get my pc to recognize it then the phone might be dead./ I may do a warranty exchange when i go visit china next month but if they check my bootloader, they will void my warranty. anyone know how to unbrick?
Also. The nokia 7+ forums said that if you flash the android P beta rom, then the chinese vaqriant becomes gloabl.
I went ahead and downloaded the android P beta for 6.1 but now that the phone is bricked I can't really test anything. I will sell my extra 1045 before i get curious and brick that too.

Can you share the link for P beta for 6.1?
Also, I own a TA-1054 model and I am in India. I ordered it from Amazon. It had Android One Oreo firmware preinstalled before I messed up and got loops. Later I flashed a GSI to at least boot it up.

Ahh I see. For some reason my sim slots were not working for me with GSI. But mine is dead now, so nothing I can do.
Here is the P link.

How to flash it?
Edit: Also OnlineUpdaterTool in your 1st post asks for a password. What's the password?

I put the original chinese firmware on the first post.
There is an option to install google play store, but that would make your rom unable to receive updates.

If your device is rooted or if you have TWRP installed, you can't apply the update via OTA
If you want to update via OTA, you will have to unroot your device and undo any changes that you made to the system partition and you will have to replace TWRP with a copy of your stock recovery. Then you can apply the update. You will have to root and install TWRP again after the update is applied.
Or, you can manually download the update from the internet and then use a PC to manually flash via your device's compatible flashtool or via fastboot(whichever is intended to flash firmware on your device).

Good Morning Everyone,
@Droidriven, thanks for your kind response, but I did what you suggest, re-install Nougat Rom from Htc official link deliberately did not root it at first, click on the OTA & yet, got same complain.
I even tried 2.41.401.41--3.16.401.2_S-On_firmware.zip with it but doesn't still work.
But from my research, this is what I found out that works..
* The Phone (HTC 10) is Hong Kong Unlocked Version with build number 2.41.401.4, [email protected] as its base band.
the ROM that will work must share same details with the one provided above.
Anyone that has Oreo 8.0 (2.41.401.4) Update in RUU file format, should Please kindly share its download link with me, I regret the inconveniences, thanks in advance.

Device has failed verification and may not work properly after flash whit lock BL

Hi, yesterday I received the Troika terminal.
I set out to flash to the latest version instead of waiting for all the updates I detected.
Even with the bootloader locked, I installed the latest available via fastboot:
XT2013-2_TROIKA_RETEU_9.0_PSB29.39-49-7_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
but it doesn't start
this is the error ... your device has failed verification and may not work properly
I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT TO FLASH AN OFFICIAL ROM I DID NOT MISS THE UNLOCK OF THE BOOTLOADER.
AT LEAST ON THE G5 MOTORCYCLE IT WAS THAT
:crying:
Solved
I've flashed again but this time this rom PSBS29.39-49-7-1
*and has no longer given bootloader errors during flashing.
And it is working.
I leave the thread here to serve in the future.
have u tried to install retail android 10?

Yes after solving it and being able to use the mobile again. (I like danger). xD
And he gave the same error again, getting stuck in the verification and not even going to recovery. I do not recommend updating to the only version currently available in lolinet.

Please keep comments relevant to the topic, and not towards insulting other members.
Thank you.
Could you, please, post a step-by-step of what happened? It might help others.
So, bootloader was locked at all times, right? Then you flashed Android 10 (which exact version? could you post the name or a link)? Then you tried to go back to Android 9, but you selected and older version (I'm guessing probably older than the Android 10 Security Patch), and it wouldn't boot anymore? Is this what happened?
The difference between PSBS29.39-49-7 and PSBS29.39-49-7-1 is (if I'm not mistaken), exactly the Security Patch. The latter should be December, which means the first one is probably November.
